    Random photo seen elsewhere:

    Interesting application of "proportions" as compared to humans when selecting the proper size being to advertise the Lucid Gravity. This photo seems to cover the gamut from small to oversized people. Removing either person from the photo puts the Lucid Gravity in a whole new context.

    Rather large...
    the upside is that you don't carry a spare tire, but a Caterham 7

    And it wouldn't be complete without Mr. Sketckmonkey's (previous name) now Bembli weighing in on the new Charger design.

    More likely esoteric symbols of the elite. The Mercedes badge is probably also related.

    Too many screens? Why car safety experts want to bring back buttons
    Automakers must find a balance of high-tech screens and old school controls.


    “Common tasks that drivers used to accomplish with the simple press of a button or turn of a knob now require navigating through multiple screens, which means more steps, more time, and more attention,” Consumer Reports Auto Test Center Manager for Vehicle Technology Kelly Funkhouser said in a recent blog post.

    rivian dropped a 'little' surprise along with its new R2, with photos of an even smaller R3.
    could make an interesting hot hatch with the right motor & batteries
    looks like they're in a race to raise volume before they run out of cash -
